An Invitation Into Love
by Matt Kahn

You are invited to allow February to be a month of celebrating the true nature of love. This exists beyond the 24-hour celebration of Valentine’s Day, as an invitation into the sacred union of interconnection with ourselves and the world around us.

It’s an opportunity to deepen our ongoing practice, or to begin a regular practice of opening the heart. When we simply love “what Is”……we are living in a reality that does not require our labels or interpretations, in order to embrace what is already being offered to us through the wisdom of presence.

This invitation also acts as a reminder that what has been labeled by some as “negative energy” is just energy manifesting through a distracted focus. This can happen in a mind that has become so consumed within its own story of ideas, that it has momentarily forgotten its true divine nature as an expression of eternal love.

You are invited to freely offer loving-kindness in any moment to every person in all situations or circumstances, as they, our teachers in disguise, remind us what more we can learn to love by stepping outside the comfort of our own mental conditioning.

Whenever we take this type of loving action, we are acting as the angels in disguise that through a hug, a compassionate, listening ear, or even a smile, we convey the silent message of gratitude, “Thank you for reflecting the beautiful love that we are!”

This is how the knowledge of the soul expresses itself as consciousness. Remember, only your willingness can let this love through into a world you no longer need to understand in order to fully experience.
